Text shifting Right when printing smarform in Dot matrix printer

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have developed a payslip in smart form. I am printing the smartform in dot matrix printer. when there is blank between 2 values like one of the deductions is blank between 2 values while printing its will shift to right indefinitely even though in the print preview it is appearing correctly. In the same way in the last line i am printing Total earnings deductions n net pay... Total earnings has to be printed approximately after 6 cms from left margin in print preview it is exactly where i wanted but when printing its printing after almost 8 - 9 cms

I have created a Z page format to fit the copying 6 inch page and added code to make necessary changes to print in continuously

Kindly help me to overcome the issue.

Any help appreciable....
